E30 M50 tear down kinda thing
-
Lol I dont see how that would happen, but I get what youre saying. Its not like you need to flail your arms around to grab a handle.
Thats also a professionally built race car. Any professional set up will be spot on built for the drivers needs. I have a $500 e30. It doesnt need to be spot on fitment, it just needs to work. Ken Block's brake set up alone probably costs triple that.
And thanks Rowleym

Very cool!
I enjoy watching Dominic49's videos (he is on R3V)
maybe you have seen them before
Just came to my mind after seeing your hydro brake
Cool video! That's one hell of a set up he's got there. But yeah that's generally where I see hydro's on professional cars so I figured I'd give that placement a try. I'll have to check out more of his videos!
Just saw on his youtube channel that he sold the e30 like a week ago

Bumpin dis thread.
A buddy of mine left his front mount in my shop, so I was just toying with this idea a little bit...Â
Anyway, here you can see my green motor mounts that is practically tore in half vs a brand new condor speed shop "m50 into e30" mount. Im really excited to run these mounts!
Now lets jump to the m50 itself. I half-ass painted the block just so it wasnt rust color, and also got the right studs in the head.
And the head is back on and torqued down.
Shes getting impatient with how long this reconstructive surgery is taking
I also got my IE strut bar. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong finish... I wanted the raw/stainless finish, not black. But whatever. Also an e36 short shifter.
Thats all for now until I can convince TJ to come by my shop with his timing tools
  Im gonna give it a shot timing it myself. -
woot woot! Looking good
Thanks! Once its timed its pretty much ready to be dropped in. Im getting excited! Although Im sure theres a few small things Im going to need as things go back together. I still need to run lines to my hydro, but keep putting that off lol.

cant wait to see the finished results. I have the same IE brace, it made a notable difference on my car!
Did you have to drop your struts a little to fit?  It looks like Im going to have to drop the coils out in order line the holes up. But thats awesome! Im excited to see how it feels!  Im actually pretty bummed they sent the wrong one, the brushed finished would have looked so good

What timing tools do you need?
